Hello everyone, I'm new to all of this, so please bear with me. I have been a migraine sufferer for the last 6 years. For me, my migraines came on me so fast and without a warning (2002). At first I thought that they were just mere headaches, but over the course of time, the pain got severe that I was rushed to emergency and that is when my world suddenly changed. Over the years, I have been misdiagnosed, have been hospitalized, given 2 spinal taps, nerves block treatments, and have been all meds known to man. In 2005 I was blessed to find a doctor that gave me trigger point injections, and for now that seems to alleviate the pain some, but not all the time. I am at my end wits at this point, and just trying to learn how to cope with this debilitating disease.
